pg- 4 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado K-25 Ironworker Falls 29 Feet On the afternoon of January 3, 2006, at approximately 1355 hours a BJC employee working on the operating floor in the K-25 Building fell 29.5 feet to the cell floor. The employee was treated at the scene and transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center via helicopter. Immediate Actions Taken: –Stop Work –The ORO Manager commissioned a Type B Investigation –Bechtel Jacobs Company commissioned an independent Extent of Condition Review

pg- 8 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Conducting Interactive Work Control Alignment Workshops at the Project Level Work Control Sessions Associated Breakout Sessions Objectives Setting Process Key aspects of setting objectives 1.Review current work control process objectives 2.Review work control roles by organization Management / Stakeholder Alignment Review the key aspects of alignment Review the alignment profile Review the mechanics of Alignment Thermometer 3.Identify key alignment issues Barriers to Success Review typical barriers to project success 4.Identify key alignment barriers 5.Identify actions to overcome the barriers Work Package Alignment Review work package process & objectives 6.Identifying key barriers to work package alignment 7.Identify actions to overcome the barriers Summary & Conclusions Gaining and Sustaining Alignment
9
pg- 9 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Alignment is Critical to Project Success Definition - The condition where appropriate project participants are working within acceptable tolerances to develop and meet a uniformly defined and understood set of objectives. –A state of being; focused on objectives –Must be fostered throughout the project life –Must be readdressed as new participants added to project, or as objectives change
10
pg- 10 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Longitudinal – stay aligned throughout project’s life Vertical – Project team aligned in values & purpose Alignment Must Exist in Three Dimensions Horizontal – Functional support aligned with project objectives Safety Engineering Construction
11
pg- 11 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Understanding the Alignment Challenge Projects have complex objectives – sometimes they are in direct conflict Mixed stakeholders cause project complexity Different functional groups – sometimes specialists tend to do their own thing Multiple decision makers increase the need for communication – both deployed and non-deployed Project Dynamics – schedule and funding changes
12
pg- 12 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Alignment Thermometer: Where Are We Starting? Measures the project team alignment Identifies the areas needing focus Assists in tracking toward alignment Captures agreement / disagreement among stakeholders Captures how well alignment issues are addressed on project Leads to pinpointed actions 70% 40% 100% Comfortable Road to Success Discomfort on the Road to Mediocrity Stressful Road to Failure
13
pg- 13 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Legend: 1 = Strongly Disagree 5 = Strongly Agree Steps 1 and 2 – Collect Survey Data
14
pg- 14 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Steps 3 and 4 – Analyze Data (Spider diagram) Average ranking of Work Implementers –Each spoke is an alignment statement from the survey –Average for all respondents –The larger the “spider web” the more poorly aligned the team –Indicates alignment work to be done
15
pg- 15 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Steps 3 and 4 – Analyze Data (Spider diagram) Range ranking of Work Implementers –Max minus Min ranking for each of the alignment survey statements –The larger the “spider web” the more poorly aligned the team –44 of 48 statements had a range of 10 (maximum mis- alignment possible)

pg- 16 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado 70% 40% 100% Step 5 – Alignment Thermometer Indicates we are Making Progress Comfortable Road to Success Discomfort on the Road to Mediocrity Stressful Road to Failure Feb 2006 July 2006 Results at BJC –Twelve sessions (344 personnel) conducted Feb through July –Senior management through craft in workshops –Alignment of personnel also being seen in workshop sessions

pg- 17 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Gaining and Maintaining Alignment Alignment Culture Execution Processes Communication / Information Tools BarriersBarriers
18
pg- 18 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Examples of Barriers to Work Control Alignment Culture – No formal division of responsibility for work control - all stakeholders not accepting ownership and not holding each other accountable Execution – Workers not fully engaged in the work planning process - management, non-manual, & craft workers not fully engaged in the work planning process Communication – Lack of sufficient vertical & horizontal communication - management-to-craft and craft-to- management, line management-to-functions and function-to- line management Tools – Feedback & Lessons Learned not adequately collected or incorporated into the work control process - doing the same thing over & over and expecting different results
19
pg- 19 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Examples of Barriers to Work Package Alignment Plan - Entire work team not engaged in the process Approve - Comment resolution is too cumbersome Execute - Work package is too complex Closeout - No feedback or feedback follow-through
20
pg- 20 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Culture Establishes the Lead Planner and Task Lead positions Single line accountability on a project for work package preparation Single line accountability for work execution Institutes a required Project Team (workers, technical experts, supervision, facility management) approach to work package development in order to generate better integrated packages, Training drove home ownership of the work control process emphasizing technical, supervision, and worker responsibilities Execution Stresses responsibilities for successful implementation as well as development Requires technical, supervision, and worker input during planning walkdown Requires worker and supervisor pre-job walkdown to make sure work package matches task and conditions Establishes Work Control Task Lead position for each work package to ensure clear ownership of the work package during implementation Work Control Changes
21
pg- 21 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Communication Includes workers as part of the team even to the point of work package sign-off The required team approach eliminates isolated development of work package elements Requires review of package to ensure integration and eliminate conflicting direction (e.g., PPE) Training dealt directly with the importance of communication Requires adequate technical review of any changes – eliminated red-line changes in the field Tools Requires technical experts to incorporate Lessons Learned from their area Establishes Project Work Package review for incorporation and integration of hazards, controls, lessons learned, and work instruction Requires periodic end-of-shift briefings not just at the end of the job to increase feedback Work Control Changes
22
pg- 22 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado Has to be a Project Leadership Absolute! Needs to be defined, measured, and tested early on in the Project Especially critical in joint-venture/multiple-partner projects Is an essential element to Zero Incidents & Injuries Instills discipline in the approach to work Complements Integrated Safety Management Establishes “our” work control culture and expectations on the Project Needs to be maintained for the life of the Project Disciplined Work Control Alignment
23
pg- 23 DOE Integrated Safety Management Best Practices Workshop―Aurora, Colorado How do we plan, approve, and get work done around here? Can you show or describe the work process to me? Who is responsible and accountable for the various phases of the work process? How do we measure whether we are aligned? Some Key Questions to ask Regarding Work Planning & Control on Any Project
